RICHARD BURTON reads CHURCHILL

Words matter. How they are spoken is essential. Winston S. Churchill was a master wordsmith of English. A man who imagined he was Agamemnon did change history for better or worse.

As a superlative writer (and winner of the Nobel prize for literature in 1953), Churchill helped to create his own myth. Though he may never quite have said “history will be kind to me, for I intend to write it”, he said similar things and wrote his memoirs accordingly. His personality, vivid even more than half a century after his death from his own brilliantly chosen words, is much richer than any caricature.
